Quote:
“The personality of the sculptor Chaim Gross, his mannerisms, his characteristic method of work, his tendencies are all intimately disclosed in minute details, as though unobserved—a sort of candid-camera study. Dramatic form and cinematic structure endow the presentation with excitement, humor, and interest.” – Lewis Jacobs

Quote:
“Although it was filmed in 1937, TREE TRUNK TO HEAD wasn’t released until 1951. In the intervening years, art documentaries became popular in the United States and Europe, but few presented a complete artistic process with so photogenic an artist as sculptor Chaim Gross.” – Cecile Starr

Quote:
“This is one part of a proposed four-part film intended to document the Great Depression that was to be called AS I WALK. The other parts were never completed; consequently, FOOTNOTE TO FACT must stand alone. The film was to be post-synchronized, using sound in a stream-of-consciousness technique.” – Lewis Jacobs

Quote:
“Grounded in Soviet montage and D. W. Griffith’s INTOLERANCE, this film addresses Great Depression poverty with a rapid editing technique. By 1940 Jacobs had mislaid it, and the film was unseen and undiscussed until Anthology Film Archives discovered the original negative in the 1990s.” – Robert A. Haller
